Tom Marshall was fond of saying
''that he and Rev. DR.. Breckenridge
early in life had taken different texts. "
Toms ''was the bottle and DIR. Breckin-
ridges the Bible, and certainly" added
Tom, 1.-the reverend doctor will not deny
that l ave closely adhered to my text"
In the county IN which the immortal
Tom chiefly practiced at the bar an err
ratio jurist named Judge Nuttle pre-
sided, and whenever Dan Rice's circus
arrived the judge always announced
This court will now adjourn to see
the elephant swim the Ohio River"
In q cause celebre, where the defendant
was tried for murder, possibly the Matt
Ward case, the judge admitted some tes-
timony which thoroughly Disguised Tom
Marshall over the barrister's objections.
He jumped to his feet, not fully recovered
from a big game of draw poker the night
before, and said in anger:
Judge, do you know that Pontius
Plate convicted Jesus Christ by admit
ting just such testimony as that?'
The judge quickly replied: ''ClerlI,
fine Mr.. Marshall $50 for contempt Of
court"
Tom rose, and, steadying his somewhat
Migratory motions against the railing
fronting the judges bench, with mock
gravity opened:
May it please your honorl 1t has
been some months since 1 have seen $50
Of my own money. l beg your honor
to lend me the money with which to pay
the fine"
The court was astonished, but, catch
ing its judicial breath, replied soto voce:
Mr.. Clerk, upon reflection the court
is inclined to remit Tom Marshall's zine,
as the state of Kentucky is better able to
lose that $50 than the court isl'-Chi-

Lima, lying within the tropics, has,
upon the average, a very pleasant climate.
The highest temperature observed here in
summer is s. degrees, the lowest in
winter is G1 degrees Fahrenheit. Feb
ruary is the last month of the Peruvian
summer, seasons south of the equator be-
ing, of course, the direct reverse of those
north of it. The weather is very soft and
balmy-almost perfect. In this country
rain never falls, its absence being CON-
pensatcd in some degree by abundant
and refreshing dews which fall during
the night, and which are sometimes quite
heavy, often resembling Scotch mist
and are properly termed Peruvian dew"

sleeping in an adjoining apartment. One
Of them, James Wells, after searching
the house, informed officers Ezekiel
Mitchell, Tydings and Watkins of what
had happened. The officers started in
pursuit Tydings and Watkins, who
were together, saw a colored man creep

when the officers came In sight. Officer
Mitchell, who was nearest him, pursued
the fugitive. discbarging five shots from
his revolver in the air to brighten him,

ASTONISHING SUCCESS

1t is the duty of every person who ha
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
persons can use 1t without immediate re-
lief Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider 1t the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
so, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where Ii failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles
TO try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, rs
cents. Sold by all Druggists and dealers,

The Fourth in Annapolis.

The day of all days we should celebrate
passed of quietly and unobserved by any
celebration of patriotic nature in our
historic city, beyond the display of the
American flag from the dome of the State
House, the shipping in the harboT, the
public buildings and from the private
residences of few of our patriotic citi-
zens. There was q general suspension Of
business and nearly all the stores in town
were closed after 10 In the morning. The
usual national salute was fired. from the
L. 5. s. ''Santee' at the Naval Academy
to remind one of the nations great ami
versaTy. There was q general emptying
of the town TO the several nearby resorts
Bay Ridge was completely besieged, and
Ii is estimated that fully fifteen thousand
people were on the grounds Never be-
fore in the history of the place were there
so many people on the grounds in one
day The trains that left this city were
crowded and many persons were left be-
hind, besides the great number that went
by way of their own private conveyance.
Trains were passing 10 and from the place
all day, and it was after midnight before
the the last train had departed with its
passengers. Out of all the vast crowd and
the long string of cars, it is gratifying to
state not a single accident occurred dur.
ing the day.
At night there were several private dis
plays of fire works, and the usual bang
ing of fire-crackers and pistol fireing by
Young America, TO remind one that
there was life in the old land yet, and
that all the patriotism had not died out of
the Ancient city.
